Hiking
The street with its art deco houses, the beautiful shops and the slowly passing trams radiate a tranquility that you will hardly find anywhere else and that in the middle of the city. Just let yourself drift.

The street was originally called "rue de la Porte-aux-Ferrons" (Street of the Iron Gate) and the Galeries Lafayette building had to be rebuilt in 1933 after a fire destroyed its original roofline, replacing broken pavilion roofs with imperial-style domes.

Hiking
One of Reims' most vibrant pedestrian streets, connecting the city center to the Vesle River and serving as a major commercial thoroughfare since the inauguration of the tram system in 2011.
The street follows part of the ancient Roman decumanus maximus, the main east-west road of the Gallo-Roman city, though it was heavily destroyed during World War I and rebuilt with notable Art Deco architecture. Today it houses significant buildings including the Opera de Reims and several remarkable Art Deco structures like the Galeries Lafayette department store.
